Original subtitles

It's my grandmother's house.

I'm recording sounds.

The awakening of the town.

There are about 50 places I want to see around here, you know.

I initially intended to earnestly take some time for myself alone, but things turned out differently.

That seems to be an empty house, right?

It was my grandmother's house.

Why come back now?

Why are you doing this?

Did you take it?

Yes.

I don't really understand this, but...

I don't really understand.

This just feels strangely appealing.

Huh?

It's a graveyard of sounds.

Graveyard of sounds?

I have to collect them.

Oh, really?

What's this?

Amazing.

Okay, you can take it.

Huh? Seriously?

I got it.

- Why don't you come inside? - Huh?

Isn't it cold?

January 10, 2019.

At grandma's house,

strange old person,

collecting sounds.

What are you doing?

Huh? You should write it, right?

What are you writing?

Hmm, I wonder what it is.

You're writing it yourself, aren't you?

Well, yeah, but you know...

Oh!

I'll help you.

I'll help you.

I don't need it.

You're lying, right?

It didn't happen.

In the past, Japanese camellias used to bloom

over there.

Hmm?

When I was little, that tree already existed.

It's a story from long time ago?

Hmm?

So, how many years ago did you live here?

It was the Gaping era.

my father attempted to sell strange dolls regularly, faced failure,

and pondered deeply into the late hours of the night.

Finally, Grandma's house turned red.

I'll get ready there and come back.

Oh! Fire! Fire!

Oh! Fire! Fire!

Lower body intensely hot, upper body intensely cold.

Hmm?

Taku, pass that.

What?

What is that?

Pass that, please.

Is this what you're referring to as 'that'?

The red one.

What are you upto nowadays?

What about you?

You know?

Me...

I worked and didn't work here and there, doing various things.

Where do you live, anyway?

I used to live in many places.

But, you know, it's not really necessary, right?

Things like a house.

It was actually a second-hand store, you know.

It's pretty good, isn't it?

Do you like it?

Yes.

Well, then, put in a bit more.

Is this enough already?

Hello.

Although it's more appropriate to say "Good evening" going by time.

I apologize for the remote nature of this.

I am Hiroko Inoue from Yamabiko Corporation.

Excuse me...

Can I talk to you for a moment, or is it okay?

Excuse me.

It's cold, so please come inside.

Most things in the world can be resolved at the front door.

here.

Yes.

I can't see it.

Hey, Yamada.

Um,

Hey, Yamada.

Keep your shoes paired.

Oh.

is this house going to be demolished?

Yes.

This one too?

Yes.

Troublesome.

Hmm?

I don't really understand, but...

but there are things I must do.

Ah.

That Yamada-kun.

if you still live here,

it's good for you if you sign it.

It's extremely troublesome.

or rather, it's still work.

Um, it's okay.

go ahead and eat.

Allow me to explain that from my side.

Alright, eat up, eat up.

It's winter, you know.

We have the air conditioner on.

There are times when you just want to wrap yourself in a blanket, you know.

With that thing?

It seems like I understand the meaning, but at the same time, I don't.

Yamada.

One bite.

Bon Appétit.

The economic impact is expected to more than double.

Um...

Huh?

Yamada-kun, I'm sorry.

Um...

Can you hold this in your hands?

Is it something like pasta?

Pasta?

This, please.

Is it okay if you hold onto this for a bit?

Surprisingly

Is it okay?

It's fine, right?

Yamada?

Yamada you brought your bento

Even though I invited you for launch.

About that...

The lack of cooperation in a employees is not good, is it?

Appearing to be working, but not getting it done.

Do you understand?

Ah, yes.

This is a bit too much of my preference, isn't it?

You think Sweet Majulama is better, though.

Yamada?

Huh?

Yes, yes.

Yes.

Right...

So, what's going on?

Were you able to drive them out?

That's for...

Yamada is taking care of it.

Yeah, Yama-P.

You know,

You're the type who would cools down Milan florida, right?

Huh?

Oh,

Your cute face doesn't matter at all.

What matters is "This"

Right here.

Here.

Well, the rest what matters is "this"

We're going to drag the enemy in.

They end up getting into your heart.

The closer the physical distance, the closer the distance in the heart, that's the idea.

Do you understand?

Yes.

I lived in that town too, you know.

In my time...

It was common to have two or three dilapidated houses. You know.

But it can't be helped, right?

Even I'm doing it for work, you know.

I'm doing it for everyone's sake, you know.

Thanks to that, the town has become lively with tapioca shops.

Huh.

Sorry, Miss Accountant.

Yes.

So, you know, it's about time.

I'll take care of that.

Inoue-sama, thank you for your hard work. I apologize for the delayed reply. Our meeting with the other party has been difficult, so I have decided to stay here for a while. I will do my best not to cause you any inconvenience, Inoue-san. Thank you for your continued support. Yamada

If you don't do that...

Alright, I'll count on you for mountain activities from the afternoon, okay?

Huh?

Are you going?

What you going to do for company?

If you want to make the female employees happy, why not be an idol?

It's your responsibility if Yamada fails.

Huh, my?

Bring some results for once, occasionally.

Thank you.

Here is a return gift.

Ok.

Thank you very much.

It's 1,500 yen per person, right?

Right.

Excuse me.

I'm from yesterday.

Excuse me.

While waiting for the evening shower to stop

The old man grew tired.

Someday, I'll sleep soundly.

The small mountain became a bright moonlit night with clear skies.

Oh, what's this? A loud, noisy voice.

If you think, it's strange. Could it be a dream?

The old man who loves to dance.

quickly jumped out and started dancing.

As the small weights swayed unsteadily...

Very funny and amusing.

This is a story from long, long ago.

Do you know of any animals that perform live?

Yes, are there really animals like that?

Like monkeys.

Pigs.

Really?

They stimulate eachother with their noses and hooves, like this.

Meeting with a senior to send a reply.

Looks delicious.

To be bitten by a scorpion.

Minus $2000 in medical expenses.

No worries, the hospital is fine.

You're in debt again, Yamada.

I'm glad it was just tea.

Please.

You're that type, huh.

You're poor, huh.

You're way too poor, Yamada.

From here on, as for me...

Here.

I'll spin it.

1

Everyone gives $2000 as a celebration for the child's birth.

Yes, please give me the money.

Hello.

Yes, congratulations.

Hello.

It's tough; I still don't have a home either.

I'm doing my best; just being alive is enough.

It's a piece of cake; life over here is a walk in the park.

January 12, 2019.

Today's mood is serene.

You were back last week, right?

Thank you for keeping the mail for me.

We haven't met in a while; I wonder how you've been doing.

I heard you're at your grandmother's place.

I studied about pain today.

I wonder if I conveyed it well.

There is a substance called mucin on the surface of cartilage.

Both cartilage and mucin contain a substance called nicodine.

January 12, 2019.

I ate a life.

What is this?

I have to record it.

I have to get it before this town disappears no matter what.

Don't take picture.

I will help.

It's okay; I don't need it.

Then, how about these three, limited-time offers?

I recommend this over that.

Limited-time offer.

Total lack of taste.

I...

Lacks taste.

Well then, with this.

Yes, please.

Not swallowed by a landslide, are you?

My sister got buried alive.

Her body still hasn't been found.

I think I should have attended the funeral back then.

But, you know...

If I had attended, it seems like it would have been approved by the temple.

I didn't want to.

Sorry for keeping you waiting.

Was tapioca always like this?

Please answer the phone.

My phone's battery died.

Then, please charge it, charge it.

Because I'm like that.

- What do you mean "Always like that?" - Why don't you stay with us tonight?

- It's okay here. - No thanks, I'm fine.

It's hard to tell which land belong to your company.

It's ours, right?

I'm in trouble.

Oh, there's work here too.

Yamada, please say something.

Yamada, send her to station.

Senpai, it's about your time for your bus.

I've reserved the room.

Hotel New Ohruri.

On the other side of New Ohruri Station.

- Will you stay here? - I won't stay.

- Will you stay here? - I won't stay.

- Will you stay here? - I won't stay.

- Will you stay here? - I won't stay.

It was indeed you after all.

This is how you insert it.

It's fine, I'll just throw up later anyway.

Like this, the laundry has become a mountain.

I have folded it before.

It's a story from the past.

So, you know...

In there, being born as the American flag,

National flag.

Wondering what it could be.

So you tried pulling it like this, huh?

So, then, with an American flag

With a my dad's loincloth, you know.

I was wondering how to fold a loincloth.

Are you doing well?

I was wondering if he was even wearing a loincloth in the first place

Is he doing well, your Dad?

Also, why the American flag?

Probably, due to some reason, We're not talking with each other.

Excuse me.

Hiroko, what you wanna eat? Somen?

- Alright, between playing the Game of Life and having some water, which one would you choose? - Having water?

Station water?

Have you laid out futon?

The electricity went out in a good way.

Looks delicious, huh?

Amazing.

Pickles, huh?

Thank you.

Mom, here

Take some tea.

Thank you.

Delicious.

Japanese pickled vegetables.

Let's go together today.

Where?

Well then, I'm doing.

Backflip.

Let's combine the forward roll and backflip.

Does it even have sound, I wonder?

It seems like there isn't.

Hang in there.

Ok.

Wait, I'll just come back.

None of them can get in touch with their families.

for some reason.

Reason?

So there's also a place to return, right?

The communal rice cake is at the tiger and the witch's temple, you know?

Everyone enters together.

you know, when they die.

I'm back.

I'm back.

It's kind of unique, Your way of holding knife.

Huh?

I want to sauté the onions like this until they turn caramelize.

I want to cut it this way.

Also, there are elderly individuals who have reached a certain age.

Cut the meat into small pieces like that.

As for the onions, it's that way.

You know,

Well, it's like this.

This...

Move like this.

Onions are like this.

The meat is on the smaller side, isn't it?

You handle it skillfully, Hiroko.

I can cook.

But I don't like it.

Why?

I was forced to learn it.

By my mother.

It's like a trauma, isn't it?

I don't have a mother, you know.

I envy you.

- Is that so? - Yeah.

Why do you choose that?

I heard that if you eat this, you'll die.

Because it's poisonous.

That's why,

It's taken out like this.

Poison.

You've been snacking on the sly, huh?

Like raw onions, for example

Do you know the sound when buds open?

Is there even a sound?

When they bud, they also take in air, right?

At that time,

the sound also enters together, right?

That's when it becomes the sound of the flower blooming.

What's that? That's amazing.

Probably.

You've very imaginative experiences.

Including people's voices.

Seriously.

Sometimes,

I'll just wrap this up quickly, You can go.

Really?

Alright, I'll be right back.

It's almost time.

This is fine too.

Seriously, enough already.

You know, It moved a bit just now.

I saw it, I saw it, definitely saw it, really.

It's really a world of just a few millimeters,

It really moved.

Money.

I feel like I'm about to give up. (Please put the roux in 20 minutes later.)

I know it was you.

Give me back 150 yen.

I knew it was you after all.

Give me back 150 yen.

Hello.

I'm becoming grandmother today.

My grandchild, you know.

Congratulations on that.

I knew it was you after all.

Give me back 150 yen.

This is what I mean by saying goodnight.

Yamada

Did you lock the door?

Are you going to close it?

No, I'm not going to close it.

The end comes whether it's early or late.

Be it a best friend, a lover, or family.

If we don't want to end, it won't end.

It's fine as long as we're together.

We can't always be together.

Don't worry about it.

Anyway, that's how it is.

He's Yappoji.

Yappoji?

If you come alone, you'll go alone.

Let's rely on the small, little village's small, little wisdom.

- Yamada, Let's do that together again. - Yes.

There's only curry, right?

No good.

There is a beautiful lawn on the rooftop of the commercial facility.

But underneath, people who lost that place are sleeping.

On the ground.

Is it even needed in that town,

What we're trying to build.

You're stubborn, aren't you?

There's no entertainment in that town at all.

You've seen, right? The elderly people.

I've come to think that for them 24 hours in a day are too long.

Because there's nothing to do.

It's like hell, that kind of life.

But...

What is this?

It's life.

What's the point of bringing back garbage?

It's not garbage.

Maybe.

It's not garbage.

What's what I feel.

Because you won't be able to live there anyway.

Among those folks.

Excuse me, waiter.

There's a lingering sound in my ears, isn't there?

Isn't the 5 o'clock chime supposed to ring around here?

You can only hear it when your heart is gentle.

The 5 o'clock chime.

I'll take this, please.

Thank you very much.

Smile.

I did it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This.

I'll give to you.

I'll ask you question.

What is your absolute favorite sound?

Among the ones you've taken so far.

Wait a moment.

Understood.

Amusement park? Have you been there?

It was the first and last time.

Really?

Even if you went to search,

It's not that it wasn't found, No one found it.

I didn't find it.

No one.

Do you like amusement parks?

When I was kid.

Holding hands together.

It fades away quickly because it's not interesting at all.

Every day is work.

Only I find it interesting.

I want to quit my job.

It won't disappear.

I'm rotting in my company.

I hope you die.

I will disappear.

Yes, everyone quickly send a signal.

It's complicated, isn't it?

It can't be helped, right?

Becoming, each one is.

We are living under same roof.

What sound are we capturing today?

This is the last one.

But they say all the hospitals around here are no good.

Still.

Everyone keep saying it's over for this town.

It means this town is hopeless.

That kind of timing just doesn't work out,

so this is all there is.

I won't give up.

Maybe I am alone, and it hurts.

I have a clue.

That's too bad.

Keep quite, It'll run away.

I'm not like you.

I get the feeling that, It can sense your footprints.

That might actually make me a little happy.

It seems cats dissappears in their dying moments.

It seems so.

I wonder if it's assessing it's own death.

Is it dead?

Is it going to die?

Whether cats eyes are closed or open, Cats the same color.

Isn't that amazing?

I'm sorry for saying the way you run has changed.

and for saying this and that

I teach you to cook, by the way.

Thank you for pretending you taught me, Mii-chan.

Thank you.

I'm listening to a lifetime's worth of sounds that my sister was supposed to hear.

Grave of sounds.

Giving it a tight squeeze at the end.

It's miso.

Let's make the next one.

The frying pan has arrived.

Thank you.

Please take Mr. Take with you as well.

Thank you very much.

Mr. Take's aren't very good.

Curry might be the strongest.

Curry?

Delicious.

What's this?

This is a Japanese-style simmered pumpkin.

Yesterday's thing.

Why are you laughing?

It's funny how you laugh when something is delicious.

It's like...

There's a rhythm to eating, you know.

Delicious.

Let's eat one more.

I wonder if this is curry?

It's definitely curry.

It's spicy.

Year 2019.

January 23rd.

Oh, that.

My mood today is white.

Talking about short film,

I wonder around where that would be.

Or rather,

what about loincloths?

What is the correct way to fold it?

I have received this message for you.

Thank you for using [the service].

I'll go take a look over there.
